Abstract
The implementation of business models which facilitate the transition to a circular economy, is hindered by a set of ‘barriers to the circular economy’. These are categorized in a general framework. To further develop our understanding of these barriers, this thesis performed a qualitative case study on a specific sector and researched how and what kind of challenges are experienced by organizations facilitating the reuse and redistribution of cameras. The results reveal a set of insightful challenges which can be categorized within the existing broad themes of barriers. However, some detailed barriers differ from the general framework, showing that its specifics change per context. The cultural, regulatory, market-related, and technological barriers found, present considerations for organizations transitioning to similar business models and propose topics for discussion for regulation and policymakers.
